(OK . . . . . . should be a new one here, not a retread . . . )
An old sodbuster is sitting at the far right side of a lunch counter in a mediocre diner. He's leaning over on his elbows with a hot and steaming bowl of meaty chili in front of him . . . just staring at it.
A young buck comes walking in and grabs a seat to his left, starting to look at the menu. He notices the old-timer isn't paying a lot of attention to his chili, so he says,
"Hey old-timer . . . if you don't want that chili, I'll take it off your hands."
Old-timer considers for a second, then pushes the bowl towards the young guy. He hooks it with a finger, drags the steaming bowl over and starts to go at it with a big spoon. Digging towards the bottom, he finds a dead mouse lying on the bottom of the bowl and INSTANTLY throws up all the chili in and near the bowl, retching his guts out.
The old timer says,
"Yup . . . that's just about as far as I got too."
I loved the smell. It meant I got a lot of bad guys.
And your toys were made in Japan, not China.
Caps 5 rolls in a box?
There's a process, when we were kids, we would create a single firecracker, from a single roll.
But then mom found out.
We would open a pack of firecrackers and put the powder into a pill bottle and make an M80.
A, I think these quotes are getting too long, but that bottle sounds dangerous.
Our process included a needle, tape and a match head.
When mom found out, wasn't pretty.
She found one of the needles the hard way and we felt it also.
Note: VERY DANGEROUS this process, it reacted like nitro in hand.
But cap guns went like lawn darts?
All it takes is brains to have fun.
Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange.
When the waiter brought our water and cutlery, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets.
When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?" "Well, "he explained, "the restaurant’s owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped piece of cutlery. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our staff are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."
As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare. "I’ll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now." I was impressed.
I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter’s zip on his trousers. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?"
"Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the rest-room. By tying this string to the tip of you know what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the rest-room by 76.39 per cent."
I asked "After you get it out, how do you put it back?"
"Well," he whispered, "I don’t know about the others, but I use the spoon."

What do they call that assembly, a Polish vise?
Seems to work though, but I sure hope that tank is empty - Ingenious!

Any who?...
" Did someone ask for a little "Matador"?
Sir, I think the word is humor
All that to hammer a nail ?
"Wait"... I might need that, after my horse finds something to drink.
Hope he doesn't stumble.

I used to take a whole roll and whack it with a hammer on the railroad track. Made for pretty good bang.

Once my dog ate all the Scrabble tiles. For days he kept leaving little messages around the house.
I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high.
She looked at me surprised
